If you are in an area prone to hail, maybe a bad idea.

Newer tier 1 modules are quite hail resistant. I have a 40kW system in west Texas thats been through dozens of hail storms with not a single issue. And while that's only my personal experience, I monitor enough systems across the US and it's territories that I can say with certainty it's a blow out of proportion talking point.

Comparing resi systems to utility ones where they many times use non-tier 1 garbage arse panels isn't really a good way to understand it.
